Abstract

This study critically examines the psychometric properties of measurement instruments for key constructs in digital Islamic communication research, focusing on micro-dai phenomena. The analysis reveals fundamental methodological flaws, with Cronbach’s α (-0.072 to 0.090) and validity metrics (0.108–0.127) failing to meet acceptable thresholds. Discriminant validity assessment through Fornell-Larcker criterion demonstrated systematic measurement invalidity, while anomalous negative correlations between authenticity and donation behavior (-0.305) challenge theoretical assumptions. The findings necessitate reconceptualization of digital religious authority, authenticity, and audience engagement constructs, emphasizing context-sensitive instrumentation. This research provides crucial methodological insights for future studies in digital religion, highlighting the imperative for interdisciplinary approaches integrating communication theory, psychometrics, and digital culture studies to advance the field’s methodological rigor.

Abstract

The contemporary digital landscape has created new arenas for the negotiation of religious values, with internet memes serving as a dominant tool for social satire and critique. In this context, the present methodological study aims to develop and conduct an initial validation of a scale measuring exposure to religious satire memes, attitudes toward religion, and Muslim youth identity in online communities. Employing a quantitative approach, primary data were collected through a closed-ended online questionnaire administered to 200 respondents selected via purposive sampling from a population of 215 individuals. The psychometric evaluation focused on item validity using product–moment correlation analysis. Of the 27 statement items initially constructed, only 17 met the validity criterion (r-count > r-table 0.1388), whereas 10 items—including several within the Attitude toward Religion (SA) and Muslim Identity (IM) dimensions—were found to be invalid due to negative or near-zero correlation values. Given the substantive proportion of invalid items, the research was intentionally concluded at the validity testing stage to avoid generating misleading findings from a flawed measurement instrument. These results indicate that the current version of the scale cannot yet be used for hypothesis testing or inferential analysis regarding the relationships among the constructs. The primary implication is the need for systematic revision of the invalid items, potential reconceptualization of specific dimensions, and subsequent pilot testing to obtain a more robust and psychometrically sound instrument for future studies on religious satire memes and Muslim youth identity in online environments.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scholarly discourse on algorithmic authority and public trust concerning YouTube's recommendation system in shaping Islamic religious authority (2013-2023). Analyzing 677 Scopus-indexed documents from China, Indonesia, and Taiwan, this research employs co-citation and bibliographic coupling analyses to map the field's intellectual structure. The findings reveal a robust knowledge base anchored in studies of Islamic reformism, post-Islamism, and contemporary religious authority, while current research fronts explore the interplay of inspirational content, source credibility, and misinformation. The co-citation analysis identified key thematic clusters, including "Algorithmic Preachers," "The Digital Reformation of Indonesian Islam," and "The Pluralization of Islamic Discourse," demonstrating the field's theoretical depth. However, the study acknowledges limitations, including database dependency and the potential for artificial thematic convergence in algorithmic clustering. The bibliographic coupling revealed integrative clusters merging commercial and public health perspectives on user engagement, highlighting both the field's interdisciplinary nature and its conceptual challenges. Future research agendas propose methodological innovations in Islamic-specific algorithm auditing, theoretical expansion through integrating Islamic epistemology with algorithm studies, and ethical governance frameworks based on maqasid al-shariah. This analysis concludes that algorithmic authority constitutes a significant, evolving force in contemporary Islamic religious landscapes, necessitating continued critical investigation to navigate its implications for religious trust, authority, and community in increasingly digitized Muslim societies.
